Precise detection of multipartite entanglement in four-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger diagonal states

Xiao-Yu Chen, Li-Zhen Jiang, Zhu-An Xu

We propose a method of constructing the separability criteria for multipartite quantum states on the basis of entanglement witnesses. The entanglement witnesses are obtained by finding the maximal expectation values of Hermitian operators and then optimizing over all possible Hermitian operators. We derive a set of tripartite separability criteria for the four-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) diagonal states. The derived criterion set contains four criteria that are necessary and sufficient for the tripartite separability of the highly symmetric four-qubit GHZ diagonal states; the criteria completely account for the numerically obtained boundaries of the tripartite separable state set. One of the criteria is just the tripartite separability criterion of the four-qubit generalized Werner states.

Bosonic Gaussian channel and Gaussian witness entanglement criterion of continuous variables

Xiaoyu Chen, Maoke Miao, Rui Yin +1 more

We use quantum entanglement witnesses derived from Gaussian operators to study the separable criteria of continuous variable states. For bipartite system, we transform the validity of a Gaussian witness to a bosonic Gaussian channel problem. It follows that the maximal means of two-mode and some four-mode Gaussian operators over product pure states are achieved by vacuum (or coherent states and squeezed states) according to the properties of bosonic Gaussian channels. We demonstrate necessary and sufficient criteria of separability for two-mode and some four-mode Gaussian quantum states. We also propose multipartite Gaussian witnesses based on numeric evidence. The entanglement and multipartite entanglement detecting powers of the Gaussian witness criteria are illustrated by the mixture of two Gaussian states. We apply the Gaussian witness criterion to a Gaussian Fock state, which is prepared by passing a product Fock state through bosonic Gaussian channel. We show that the necessary criterion of separability for a Gaussian Fock state does not rely on the initial product Fock state, it relies on the channel.

Detection of multipartite entanglement in the vicinity of symmetric Dicke states

Géza Tóth

I present methods for detecting entanglement around symmetric Dicke states. In particular, I consider N-qubit symmetric Dicke states with N/2 excitations. I show that for large N these states have the smallest overlap possible with states without genuine multipartite entanglement. Thus these states are particularly well suited for the experimental examination of multipartite entanglement. I present fidelity-based entanglement witness operators for detecting multipartite entanglement around these states. I then consider entanglement criteria, somewhat similar to the spin squeezing criterion, based on the moments or variances of the collective spin operators. Surprisingly, these criteria are based on an upper bound for variances for separable states. I present criteria detecting entanglement in general and criteria detecting only genuine multipartite entanglement. The collective operator measured for this criteria is an important physical quantity: Its expectation value essentially gives the intensity of the radiation when a coherent atomic cloud emits light.
